Calculating a Recently Converted Static Computed Field
If you converted a dynamic computed field to a static computed field, and the field history has not been stored in the database, the field does not display any values after the conversion is complete. If there are reports or charts that use the field, they also do not display any values.
To calculate the missing value for a static computed field, select the Recompute All option from the Edit Field dialog box in the PTC RV&S Administration Client, and then select Compute Now. Next, select the Compute Now option, and then select Compute Now.

If there are dependent fields, for example, a computed field depends on another computed field, run the options on the correct order of fields (from least dependent to most dependent).

If the converted computed field exists on a production server in a staging environment, the Recompute Now and Recompute All options are not available from the Edit Field dialog box in the PTC RV&S Administration Client. In this scenario, edit the computed field that resides on the production server by running the im diag command in the following order:
im diag --diag = forcerecompute field
im diag --diag = computenow field

Some computations can be complex, memory-intensive, and may take up additional server and database resources than usual. Therefore, users must not perform this operation too frequently or during business hours.
